Sir, - I agree with Ms de Valera: there should be no further enlargement of the EU. For decades the Irish have been biggest beggars in Europe, so much so that two of our largest industries, farming and infrastructure construction, depend on hand-outs. Why should we allow others in just to share our begging bowl? Charlie Haughey and Albert Reynolds have taught Ms de Valera well. Gimmee! Gimmee! Gimmee! - Yours, etc.,
